Global Citizenship is the semester long introductory course to the Global Academy coursework that offers students an opportunity to learn more about the global community and an individual’s role within the global world. The course challenges students to consider what responsibility they have – within their political, social, cultural, and eventual professional contexts – to participate as global citizens. The course includes modules on the Ethics of Global Citizenship, Challenges and Global Divisions, Issues of Concern to the Global Community as represented through the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as a module on Global Citizenship in Action.

This course is the intro and required course for completion of the Global Academy at HHS, and will include a final unit introducing the requirements of the Global Academy to be completed in the rest of their high school careers for students who apply to the Global Academy.
